DRINK-SHAKER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 22, 1910.

Application filed August 10, 1908. Serial No. 447,744.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH HEINRICHS, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in thecounty and State of New York, have invented a new and ImprovedDrink-Shaker, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

The invention relates to drink mixers, and its object is to provide anew and improved drink shaker, more especially designed for use inmaking cocktails, milk punches and like drinks, and arranged to allowconvenient mixing and cooling of the ingredients and straining andpouring of the drink into a glass. I

The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations ofthe same, which will be more fully described herein after and thenpointed out in the claim.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in theaccompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in whichsimilar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all theviews.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improvement; Fig. 2 is a sectionalside eleva tion of the same in pouring position; and Fig. 3 is a crosssection of the improvement, showing more particularly the integralstrainer formed in thewall of the body of the vessel.

The body A of'a vessel of inverted frusto conical shape is provided atits bottom with an outwardly-extending flange B, forming a convenienthand-hold for the operator to take hold of with one hand when shakingthe vessel, as hereinafter more fully ex plained. The open top orenlarged end of the body A is adapted to be closed by a cover 0 fittingexteriorly onto the wall of the body A, at the upper end thereof, andthe said cover G is provided on top with a handle 0, adapted to be takenhold of by the operator with the other hand, so that the operator isenabled to conveniently shake the vessel for mixing the ingredients ofthe drink contained in the body A of the vessel. The wall of the body Ais provided near its upper end with a perforated portion E, forming astrainer opening into a spout D secured to the outside of the body A andextending upwardly and outwardly therefrom, as plainly indicated inFigs. 1 and 2. The end of the spout D is adapted to be closed by a cap Fheld on one end of a small chain G secured to the body A adjacent to thespout D.

The drink shaker is used as follows: The cap F is placed in position onthe spout D, to close the same, and the cover C is removed to permit ofplacing the ingredients for the drink and the crushed ice for cooling inthe body A, after which the cover C is placed in position on the openend of the body A. The operator now takes hold with one hand of theflange B and with the other hand of the handle C and then shakes thevessel, so as to cause a thorough mixing of the ingredients and contactof the same with the ice, to cool the drink. l/Vhen the drink has beenformed, the operator removes the cap F and then tilts the vessel so thatthe drink passes through the perforations E into the spout D and out ofthe same into a glass to be filled.

From the foregoing, it will be seen that by the arrangement described aseparate glass, such as is usually used, and inserted in an ordinarydrink shaker, is entirely dispensed with, and the separate strainerheretofore used and placed in the open end of the body A is alsodispensed with.

By the arrangement described, the vessel can be properly shaken, tothoroughly mix the ingredients of the drink, and to allow convenientpouring of the mixed drink into a glass, without danger of spilling orwithout lumpy matter passing into the glass. By having the cap Fpermanently attached to the body A by the use of the chain G, it isevident that the cap cannot get lost and is within easy reach of theoperator for closing the spout D.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent:

A drink shaker comprising an inverted frusto conical body having an opentop, and having its bottom provided with an integral annular flange forthe purpose specified, a detached cover for closing the open end, saidcover having an integral annular bead forming a hand hold said bodyhaving a spout extendin upwardly and outwardly therefrom {111C having aplurality of perforations at the inner end of the spout to form astrainer, a cap for closing the spout, and a gezglible connectionbetween the cap and the oc y.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing Witnesses.

JOSEPH HEINRICHS.
